Helpful Advice About Payday Cash Loans

How To Protect Yourself When Borrowing Money

DonÕt pay for the promise of a loan. ItÕs illegal for companies doing business by phone in the U.S. to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver. Requiring advance fees for loans also is illegal in Canada.

* Ignore any ad, or hang up on any caller, that guarantees a loan in exchange for a fee in advance.

* Remember that legitimate lenders never guarantee or say that you will receive a loan before you apply, or before they have checked out your credit status or contacted your references, especially if you have bad credit or no credit record.

* DonÕt give your credit card, bank account, or Social Security number on the telephone, by fax, or via the Internet unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.

* DonÕt make a payment to an individual for a loan; no legitimate lending organization would make such a request.

* DonÕt wire money or send money orders for a loan through Western Union or similar companies. You have little recourse if thereÕs a problem with a wire transaction. Legitimate lenders donÕt pressure you to wire funds.

* If you are not absolutely sure who you are dealing with, get the companyÕs number in the phone book or from directory assistance, and call it to make sure youÕre dealing with the company you think you are. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another legitimate organization.

* Check out questionable ads by calling Project Phonebusters in Canada toll-free at 1-888-495-8501. If you live in the U.S. and think youÕve been a victim of an advance-fee loan scam, report it to the FTC online at www.ftc.gov or by phone, toll-free, at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).
